On September 11 the Tea Party and its racist and right wing allies plan to again demonstrate at the World Trade Center site. For months these bigots have attempted to whip up hysteria against a proposed Islamic masjid (mosque) and community center several blocks from the WTC. On September 11 right wing, Christian fundamentalist plan a “Burn the Quran” day at a Florida Masjid. These same forces targeting masjids around the country are waging a national hate campaign against all people of color and immigrants.
We need to stand up to these racist forces. Together our voices are strong
In New York City the ugly demonstration of racism and bigotry against Muslims on September 11 at the World Trade Center must be countered with mass show of solidarity and unity
We call on all working people, youth, students, immigrants, trade unionist, community and human rights activists – ALL those opposed to racism and bigotry - to stand on that day in defense of our Muslim sisters and brothers.
Like Hitler before them, the anti-Muslim bigots are seeking to whip up hatred against a religious minority in the midst of an economic crisis. They want to divert popular anger away from the banks and corporations who rob millions of their jobs and homes.
The racist anti-Muslim campaigns are also pro-war mobilizations. It is used to justify war against Palestinians. The overwhelmingly people in the U.S. today are against continuing the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan or a new war in Iran.
These ugly, right-wing campaigns are given enormous media coverage. They are an effort to push back and divide with racism and bigotry all those who want to end U.S. wars. The billions of dollars wasted on endless war must be spent here at home.
We need JOBS, health care and schools, not war and racism.
Say NO to Racism on Saturday, September 11.

They want to destroy our unions and public services and use racism and hate to divert our attention from devastating cutbacks and record unemployment.
Unity NOT racism!
Unity NOT anti-immigrant bigotry!
Unity NOT Islamophobia!
It is not Muslim people who are robbing our jobs and homes and closing schools and hospitals. It is the banks, corporations and the Pentagon. Don't let the memory of 9/11 be misused again to justify new wars against people in Muslim countries. Let's unite against racism and bigotry and fight together for JOBS, health care, to save our schools and services and build human solidarity and respect.
